Welcome to Kernow Directory. Organisations supporting adults across Cornwall are continuing to add their details. If you are an organisation, please visit one of our directories and click “Add a listing.”
Our information, advice and guidance pages are co-produced with people who have lived experience and will continue to grow.

Abuse of any kind is wrong. You can report abuse. This can help to stop it. You can make what is called a Safeguarding Referral, if you are concerned about the safety of yourself or another adult. We have an Easy Read leaflet about abuse.

If someone is being treated badly because they are disabled, this might be a hate crime. Safer Cornwall has information about hate crimes, and how to report them.
